I find that most people that I encounter will be respectful and reasonable if you offer the same up front.
I have many friends that like me are Christians, some that have no faith at all, some who worship a different God or worship their own ability.
I have many that have questioned me very closely on what I believe and I welcome that. I love to share my faith in God with all.
I've come to a place where I truely love and respect everyone. Yes..there will be those you choose not be the carbon-copy of my views and that's okay.
When my mistakes are added up they will surpass you all...I will lead that pack.
Here's what I believe we all should share: Kindness, love, honoring each other, respect, frienship to the friendless, offer hope to the hopeless, mercy in buckets, grace to those who have failed in some area in their life.
just my thought's...I'd like yours

The only way we disagree is that I just don't believe a person needs religion or God to be that kind of "good" person. I believe you can be kind, loving, honoring of each other, respectful, a good friend, etc. and be the biggest atheist and skeptic in the world. I think it's great that you've found a faith that you believe in, but I also believe all the things you mentioned can be accomplished without any religion at all. (By the way, I'm not saying you ever said that you have to be Christian to be kind and loving and respectful... I'm just saying I don't think that those things are limited to any particular religion.)

I call my way the Center Path. It recognizes a continuum of human experience. It is a Pagan religion, somewhat based on Wicca.
It emphasizes service to the earth and to humanity; responsibility for one's actions, good or ill.
It teaches that the way of peace is best, but not to the point of needlessly permitting violence through inaction.

I think you've pretty well summed up my sentiments exactly. Do unto as you have them do unto you.
